    Creo by Brentwood is a set of new cafés already open in Kowloon Bay and Kennedy Town. Offering locally roasted coffee, artisanal kombucha, breads and pastries, and casual dining that use elements from the businesses around them in order to support the localy supply chain. The Kowloon Bay location is designed to emulate the Chinese element of wood, and features coffee tables and coasters stamped with the name of the type of tree and location it was felled in. The Kennedy Town location is designed with the theme of water, appropriately aligning with the neighbourhood’s staple harbourfront area, and features a mural by artist Zlism.

    Hong Kong Jockey Club’s off-course betting centre in Central has gotten a new face, relaunching as a multi-purpose entertainment space with food, board games, Play Station, and lifestyle facilities to complement the betting facilities. Opening on July 5, the 2/F restaurant will serve yōshoku plates (Japanese with Western influences) such as Karaage fried chicken, tonkatsu sandwich, hamburger steak omurice, and silky custard pudding.

    Porkcentric

    When Deadly Rabbit’s founders, Szyniec and Giuliano Dacasto (also behind Ask for Alonzo) saw how much Hongkongers love pork, it resonated with their own European culinary backgrounds where pork is a main ingredient. Porkcentric will offer Central European dishes inspired by the street food of Germany, Hungary, and Poland, among others. The dedicated salumeria serves 10-12 types of cold cuts on rotation, with specialties like Slovenian deer salami and boar salami, with hot dishes like the Hungarian pork chop tomahawk and Duroc porterhouse pork steak, which all revolve around the ceiling-mounted beer tanks.

    Noi

    Argentinean-born, Michelin-starred Chef Paulo Airaudo, previously of modern European Amelia, is set to open an Italian restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel in August 2022. As expected with the location, Noi will be a fine dining concept, but with some “fun” folded in.

    HUSO

    Opening inside The Pottinger on July 7th, HUSO is a new French-Mediterranean restaurant that will specialize in fine champagne and dishes topped with caviar. Named for the sturgeon breed celebrated for its caviar production, the sensual French-style space will feature art commissioned specially from local artist Yannes Choi Ka Yan, and which celebrate the female form. Priced to be modest and accessible, dishes will be made for extravagant sharing with an emphasis on seafood.

    Chef Edward Voon is opening a fine dining French restaurant in Wan Chai, following on the success of inventive French concept Le Pan. The signature Six Rounds experience (six plates per person, HK$1,680) and Menu Dégustation (eight dishes at HK$1,980 per person) will observe traditional French cooking with Asian ingredients. Auor is named for the moment right before sunset, welcoming diners to spend many a golden hour on a gastronomic journey.
